Here is one solution:

*----------------- begin example ------------------
sysuse nlsw88, clear
local varl ""
foreach var of varlist grade ttl_exp tenure wage {
	sum `var' , d
	gen `var'2 = `var' /(r(p75)-r(p25))
	local varl "`varl' `var'2"
}
eststo: logit union `varl'
esttab, eform
*------------------ end example -------------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
